September 2026 Newsletter: Rapids to Rockies

Explore the latest fresh tracks — a river weekend before ski season, the 2026–2027 trip lineup, and your first chance to reconnect since summer.

 


 

Whitewater Rafting

Join us for a weekend on the Gauley River, cabins and cookout included. Pick your rapids, pack your bag, and get ready for a screaming good time — no membership required. Book your spot for the September 11-13 adventure today.

Stop Saying “Next Time”

Every year around this time, as we ramp up for our first club meeting after summer break, someone tells us, “I’m definitely going next time.” But life gets in the way, and they never get around to it.

Don’t be a next-time person.

Be an on-the-mountain person.

The 2026–2027 trip lineup is open now and filling up: seven days in Chamonix for anyone who’s been quietly dreaming about Mont Blanc, a Banff adventure in the Canadian Rockies, or a quick-hit weekend at Snowshoe. Plus, iconic Western destinations like Jackson Hole, Whitefish, and Mammoth.

Group rates, lodging handled, travel dates already scouted — the only real decision left is which one.

More Clubs = More Mountains

Our club is one crew. Crescent Ski Council is 18 of them. Every trip on the CSC Calendar means skiing and boarding alongside members from clubs all over the Southeast, which means more people to grab a lift with, more apres ski outings, and a much bigger pool of “wait, you’re part of CSC too?” moments on the mountain.

Membership Pays for Itself

Here’s something a lot of members don’t realize until after they’ve joined: your $30/year (or $50/household) membership isn’t just a ticket to trips and events. It also unlocks real discounts from our club sponsors on everything from gear to services.

Add it up and membership often pays for itself in savings alone, before you’ve even RSVP’d to your first happy hour. Worth a look even if trips aren’t your main reason for joining.
